what goes around............
« on: 15 May 2012, 12:01:51 pm »
morning chaps.........this is a shout to all 600 ( gen 1 ) owners in Gwent area. To keep it short and sweet, my partners 600 which we sold on ( yes, the stuttering one ) a few weeks back has come back into our possession........at a reduced price :lol . however, the prob is still there. ( guy had no real time to tinker ). soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, i know its a long shot, but are there any owners out there prepared to lend me there bike as a test donor....you are more than welcome to stay with it if you feel more comfortable about things. All i really want to do is switch over the ignitor box, fuel pump relay and poss the pump ( about an hours playtime ) just to rule out ( possibly) any or all of those items. i will of course pay for your fuel, time etc and any parts that may ( hopefully not ) get damaged. This will save me the time and trouble of ordering all these off ebay just to find none of them are linked in any way. ( i know i could put them back on sale, but its just a faff. :rolleyes . If i remember rightly, i`m sure theres a member from here who lives in Newport (?) that would be fab if you could help me ( the boss really ) out with this one. cheers all for taking the time to read............and yes, short and sweet my arse.......long winded more like :z

I live in Caerleon and while I'm not keen on taking any bits off my 600 (which has never missed a beat so far) I'm quite handy at testing electrics and have some spare plug caps you could try!

Brian, thanks for the generous offer mate, but i`ve gone through the electrics numerous times..testing, retesting etc. plug caps etc are all new. thats why i`ve whittled it down to now ( i think)  one of the 3 items mentioned ( hopefully not all ). thats the reason for a quick swap-over testing session. thanks again for the kind offer. appreciate it !!. Any other takers pretty please ? gotta get this baby running right once and for all. nice hot cuppa waiting!!! :D

i`m hoping somebody got a real soft spot for fig rolls ;) . hey, maybe we could combine both the bikes and have a 600 fazer that is total shite from one end to the other :rollin . then it really could be called a 600 foccer :lol :lol :lol . yep quite a few hours went into the bike thats why i`m sort of glad its back.......even though it runs like a piece of frog shit :moon .

Have you checked the carb diaphrams for splits, often causes similar problems.
